Pencil Slingshot

This is an office supplies slingshot made of only wooden pencils, rubber bands, and duct tape!!!

Step 1 Materials

For this weapon...I mean...project, you will need: 5 rubber bands, 2 new wooden pencils, a knife (preferably with a half serrated half non serrated blade), a felt-tip pen, and a roll of duct tape.

 hmm, I'm gonna list the criteria for this:

creativity-1`
cost-1
ease of construction-1
stealth-0.5 (can't really be a concealed weapon (err, object?) but still silent when firing)
clarity of instruction-0.5 (got confused on the rubber band part)
This goes to +4

BTW, I'll post an animation on the rubber band tying part for the sake of clarity of instruction. Post the animation and I'll give out an additional 0.5 on the rating.

For stealth, you might be able to put it up your sleeve if you make it in a narrower/thinner shape like a small U (perhaps with the two pencils beiing joined together with another broken pencil).

maybe... I've got no time for discussion since I have very limited access to the internet @ this time.

 Got you your animation. Just save it on your computer then upload to your library etc. Reply back when you posted the animation already.

Nice, but who carries duct tape and a knife to the office? Oh wait, the people who go on instructables.

Actually a pretty nice idea. I have to do this in class if I have duct tape. :P +1 rating.
